Remarks (January 10, 2020):
Very happy to see Mitchy's answer... "「Purple Diamond」というワードに愛着がわきました"
As for me... 私も, I share the same thoughts as Mitchy .

Concert Tour 2020 color theme... 'emerald' ... does echo my recent cartoon (Snoopy & Doraeomon on private island) in 'My Blog' .
I will provide my suggestions and ideas for Mitchy's 2020 Concert tour before end of January .

Remarks (January 17, 2020):
Very happy to see Mitchy again (2 hours since after previous program 'めざましテレビ' - by フジテレビ ).
The length of this one is slightly better... 10 minutes (previous one めざましテレビ' was less than 2 minutes!)
But this program is still too short!! Especially when I watched it, it was mid-night 1:00am here in London!

January 19 Mitchy attended 'Star Wars 'The Rise of Skywalker' on Jan 16, 2020

Remarks (January 19, 2020):
Mitchy has been 'Star Wars' fan for 42 years. As for me, I am Disney fan since I was teenage.
What a coincidence! Disney recently took over to make 'Star Wars' movies . That means Mitchy and I are now having the same interests .
Nice to see Mitchy attended 'Star Wars episode 9' on 16th .
I just watched 'Star Wars - Rise of Skywalker' yesterday (17th) and I reserved the cinema tickets on 15th.
I have been very busy (private investment) in USA recently, hence did not have the time to watch the movie when it was first released in December (a month ago).

January 20 Mitchy's recent photo (Jan 20, 2020)

Remarks (January 20, 2020):
Mitchy, nice to see your happy face .

How many songs have you recorded in your new album? one? two? well... still plenty of time before the start of your concert tour.
I have started drafting my wish and suggestion... will send to DG in next couple days.

'emerald'... your concert theme this year 2020... first thing come up in my mind is... a 'light green' with relaxed and comfortable feel...
Although guitar can be 'funky' style, I think... a song with a contrast would be good. 'relaxed' pace with happy tune.
In your upcoming concert, I would like one song with just you playing the guitar and singing (without the band playing background music).

Today (20th) is US holiday... so... not too busy in JP Morgan London office today .

January 26 Mitchy's recent photo (Jan 26, 2020)

Remarks (January 26, 2020):
From Mitchy's cheerful look, can guess that the new album 'recording' is proceeding well. Mitchy, support you always.

Yesterday (25th) was Lunar New Year. Traditionally, New Year celebration is first 3 days (ie this year will be 25th, 26th, 27th).
But as I work in London, it will be normal work day tomorrow (27th).
I have been eating lots of festive food! Though my weight remain similar (105 lbs), I can feel the belt is slightly tighter than before!
No worries... I will watch my waistline .

Remarks (January 31, 2020):
Aha! Mitchy... with 'thumb up'... cheering with me? For my post in Facebook about Amazon's excellent Q4 2019 results?
How is your new album getting on? close to completion?
Love you Mitchy ... thinking of you...

January 31 Mitchy's New Album 2020 'Be My One'

Remarks (February 1, 2020):
Mitchy's message... nice surprise ... with an answer to my question (above).
Congratulations Mitchy! Very happy to see that your new album 2020 'Be My One' has completed successfully. I like the album title 'Be My One' very much .

Yes, it was 3am (in the mid-night or early morning here in London) when I received the message.
It is quite common that I am awake at night... to read news (USA, Asia) that might impact financial market of all regions.
